The scent starts with an intense, dense blend of ginger and verbena. The citrus note from amyris brightens it up a bit.
Through the tuberose and pepper in the heart, the fragrance gets a lovely incense touch; I also consistently perceive a softly resonating tea note.
In the drydown, it becomes very creamy and clean without being a "fresh laundry scent." A truly unique fragrance profile. I have and know nothing comparable. Definitely worth a test.
I cannot understand all the negative reviews; for me, it is by no means a gourmand.
